Official narrative

Wikipedia reports that there "is no formal process for selecting the Secretary General. Instead, the members of NATO traditionally reach a consensus on who should serve next. This procedure often takes place through informal diplomatic channels... The appointment is for 4 years, although it may be extended."

Control by Bilderberg

The main "informal diplomatic channel" appears to be the Bilderberg meetings. Since the official narrative is that this is a mere social event, which just happens to have military grade secrecy, their control of who becomes NATO Secretary General is hard to prove. Nevertheless, it is interesting that all permanent NATO Secretaries General have attended the Bilberberg, and since their 1966 meeting at which the structure of NATO was top of the agenda[1], all permanent Secretary General appointees attended at least one Bilderberg meeting before being given the job. Two temporary appointees, Sergio Balanzino (1994, 1995) and Alessandro Minuto-Rizzo (2003) are not thought to have attended.
